Fxus61 kakq 172345 afdakq area forecast discussion national weather service wakefield va 745 pm edt Sat aug 17 2019 Synopsis A weak area of low pressure will track northeast along the carolina coast tonight and then push off the outer banks and virginia capes Sunday. Weak high pressure builds into the area Monday and settles off the coast Tuesday. Near term through Sunday As of 350 pm edt Saturday... current WV imagery depicts a moist frontal band along the carolina coast, with the rap model analysis showing a mid-level trough near the sc coast, and surface observations and analysis showing weak low pressure beneath the upper level feature. Locally, a surface trough still lingers over central and s-central va, with a sea-breeze boundary over the ERN shore. Iso-sct showers tstms have developed over the piedmont to the w of the surface trough where surface heating has been stronger, with additional activity along the sea-breeze over the ern shore. Coverage of showers tstms will remain limited through the late aftn early evening, and then quickly dissipate later this evening. Temperatures this aftn are generally in the mid 80s to around 90f, with dewpoints in the mid 70s for many locations resulting in some heat indices of 95-100f. Warm and humid conditions will continue through tonight with lows of 70-75f. Fog and stratus are expected to develop late tonight into early Sunday morning primarily for the piedmont, central and s-central va, interior NE nc, and the md ERN shore. The system along the sc coast tonight will slowly drift newd along the coast tonight and push off the outer banks and va capes later tonight into Sunday. Guidance is mixed with regard to how far N showers will extend, but the 17 12z href does depict a decent signal for showers and perhaps a few embedded tstms pushing into far SE va and NE nc primarily late tonight into Sunday morning. Pops are highest (60-70%) along the coast and adjacent to the albemarle sound and tapering off to 20-40% from the peninsula to the lower ERN shore. There is a potential for locally heavy rain with decent forcing for ascent combined with pw value upwards of 2.25" and a deep warm cloud layer. Pops gradually diminish through the aftn as the wave pulls off the coast. However, some showers tstms could drift off the blue ridge into the piedmont later in the aftn. Continued humid with high temperatures ranging from the low mid 80s along the coast, with low 90s from the i-95 corridor W where heat indices could approach 100f. Short term Sunday night through Tuesday As of 350 pm edt Saturday... Sunday night through Tuesday will largely be dominated by mid and upper level ridging and weak high pressure at the surface, as the frontal boundary finally pushes well off the coast. Hot and humid conditions develop as 850mb temperatures rise to 19- 21c Monday and Tuesday, and this should support high temperatures in the low mid 90s (upper 80s at the coast) both days. Dewpoints potentially remain 70-75f during peak heating resulting in heat indices of 100-105f. Morning lows will generally be 70-75f. Pops are mainly 20% or less Monday, and 15-30% Tuesday. Long term Tuesday night through Saturday As of 350 pm Saturday... large scale pattern at the beginning of the extended period will feature ridging over the WRN atlantic southwest us, with a strong upper low just S of the hudson bay. Weak troughing over the southeast us (between the two ridges) will allow for isolated- scattered aftn evening convection to develop on wed (pops mainly 20- 40%). Ridging over the WRN atlantic slowly retreats to the SE on Thu fri. This happens as the area low low pressure (sfc-aloft) over the hudson bay moves eastward and the

trailing cold front slowly approaches the region from the nw. As the cold front approaches the region by late thu, more organized convection could develop (especially north west) late thu and persist through the first part of Thu night. As a result, have high-end chc pops from 18z thu-06z fri. The cold front potentially stalls over the SRN part of the CWA from fri- next weekend as the western atlantic ridge tries to build back westward. If the front stalls, this would lead to continued chances of scattered showers tstms (highest during the aftn evening). Highs mainly in the low 90s on wed-thu, cooling into the mid 80s for most areas by fri-sat. Forecast lows are mainly in the low 70s on Wed thu, with mid-upper 60s inland around 70f near the coast from Fri through next weekend. Aviation 00z Sunday through Thursday As of 745 pm edt Saturday... showers tstms across SRN va NE nc earlier this evening have weakened, leaving behind mid-high clouds. A weak area of low pressure continues to develop along a stationary frontal boundary near the sc coast. The aforementioned area of low pressure will track NE along the boundary late tonight into Sunday morning, bringing the potential for showers and embedded tstms to ecg, and potentially orf. Latest hi-res guidance shows that the best chc of pcpn will be from 11-18z at ecg 13-20z at orf. While prevailing vsbys likely remainVFR MVFR, brief ifr vsbys will be possible in the heavier showers tstms Sunday morning. In addition, prevailing MVFR CIGS are likely at ecg orf for much of the day on Sunday. Ifr fog stratus could once again develop late tonight into Sunday morning, with the best potential at ric (with lesser chances at phf sby). The low gradually pulls away from the coast during the aftn, with a low probability (15-20%) of an aftn shower or tstm. Outlook... MainlyVFR conditions are expected to prevail Monday through Thursday. A low probability of aftn evening showers tstms will continue Monday and Tuesday. A higher chc of showers tstms arrives by Wednesday and Thursday as a trough moves through the area. Marine As of 350 pm edt Saturday... high pressure off the coast is leading to 5-10 knot winds from the east and southeast this afternoon. Waves are around 1 ft and seas range from around 2 ft S to 2-3 ft n. Winds will slowly become more southerly tonight but remain 5-10 knots. Global and high-res models have come into better agreement regarding the expected track of low pressure currently located off the sc coast. This low will move rather quickly northeastward overnight and is expected to clip the area during the day on Sunday. Will show increasing southeasterly flow of 10-15 knots from the southern ches bay southward into the coastal waters through early afternoon as the low tracks northeastward from the albemarle sound tomorrow afternoon. Winds will quickly switch from onshore to offshore as the low passes a given latitude. Southerly flow resumes by early Monday into the mid week period. Waves will build to 1-2 ft (highest at the mouth of the bay) on Sunday while seas will briefly build to 2-4 ft S and ~3 ft N as the low passes. Seas subside to 2-3 ft s and closer to 3 ft N through mid week. Akq watches warnings advisories Md... None. Nc... None. Va... None. Marine... None. Synopsis... Ajz tmg near term... Ajz short term...
